Re: Angels Release Bobby Abreu

Well, his defensive play was poor for the Angels before they switched him to full time DH last season, and his offensive numbers have been in a steady decline the last 3 years or so. He's still got a great eye at the plate, but I don't know how much he can do with the pitches he sees anymore, don't think there's much juice left in his bat.

I'd like to see him catch on with another team, but he's in that group of guys with Damon, Matsui (who both found a home), Vlad and Magglio (who haven't yet) who are just hanging on at the end of great careers.

Ibanez has (somewhat surprisingly to me) hit well for us so far. I wouldn't trade him for Abreu right now.
